That is a cool record! I love basketball jones. It reminds me of John Stockton from the Jazz.

I actually owned that record. I think I sent away some number of box tops or something. Wish I still had it.

BTW, that’s Curly Neal, not Reese.

Not only was the voice talent for the show noteworthy, but the vocals for the songs were supplied by former members of the Cadillacs and the Drifters.

The album is surprisingly good; no bad cuts.

Watched that show many times for many hours, and I consider myself a better person for it. Meadowlark and Curly, too much!

NICE! I grew up with that show as a kid and had no idea there was a record for it. makes me think there should almost be a category for 70s Saturday morning cartoon separate from “Kiddies.”

Ja vol about… sie GOOD old days, where we could laugh at and with one another without the PC POLICE, eh? Where have you gone “Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, Johnny Carson and Don Rickles?” Kids today are too busy being materialistic, texting and chatting on cell phones 24 x 7! God forbid they laugh…

“Oh yes… I can remember the “good ol days”, glued in front of the T.V. nearly every Saturday morning, wearing pajamas and eating my favorite breakfast cereal while watching cartoons from 6 AM until noon… Then for lunch, American Bandstand, Soul Train…”
BTY… “Basketball Jones” is listed on the Cheech And Chong LP “Los Cochinos @#!!*”. Funny thing is… that LP has a similar kind of “cover gimmick” too, like the one you’ve pictured Mr. Coverlover.
